I guess EA/Bioware allows negative posts on BSN (where only "hardcore" visit), but are unwilling to accept negativity on a "more public" Facebook page.
Did you submit a complaint to EA Tech Services website / forum?
Probably. But EA would actually look like good guys if they offer help on their Facebook page to those who ask. Or simply just say something like "We will let the tech team know about this issue" etc.
Dearie, this patch IS PC ONLY. The aptly named PATCH 3 FOR PC. So, yeah, no console fixes, you wait your turn, or never.
I would start another game if i was you op and do the missions differently as you may have to wait a very long time for a fix.
Save the game before you start the mission so you could try different ways of doing it and avoiding the bug.
Starting another game is something I won't do again. I was 50 hours into a completionist run, and that is what I am going for. A game that is 95 percent fetch quests is not something I will be playing two times. Doing everything once, and that's it.
I did save the game before that mission. Tried doing it differently too, but that bugged assassin sequence happens the same way no matter what. Bug kicks in even if I reload from an earlier save.

Yeah, I noticed. Still. A bug like this should have been fixed in the first console patch.

Maybe they didn't knew? How many ppl actually have this problem btw? Now that you posted it, maybe they'll check it.
Those bugs that are adressed in the link happened to many people, including me.... Have you tried restarting the game?

I have tried getting past the bug 7 or 8 times since december. Restarted the game plenty.
Or did you mean I should start a brand new game?
Plenty people have had problems with bugs in that quest. Especially if Dorian is in their party (he isn't in mine though).
Lots of people complained about that bug on the DA Facebook page. One of the posts there had almost 100 replies. EA\BIoware deletes stuff like that fairly fast. I have seen posts about the issue lots of times but it gets removed.
Lovely customer treatment there.

Hmm ok then.. I had Dorian with me and didn't encounter any bug. In fact i haven't encountered serious bugs overal, only the banter one.
Is this the full patch notes? I hope not as that means that a number of Mage passives will still be broken, not to mention the weakness bug. I would have fixed them instead of taking out money/influence/mat exploits.

I haven't encountered many myself. 2 gamebreaking ones, and the one where no music is playing outside cutscenes.
I was hoping that the latest patch will address a fix for that disgusting tan pajamas issue, and to let us wear our regular armor in Skyhold.
There's a mod that does that

Mod allows us to do all kinds of things Bioware seem to be unable to... why the hell Bioware is so useless?

At this point, I'm surprised nobody pulled the artistic integrity card.
Its when you chase the assassins during the Ball in Orlais. You run after that harlequin fellow, and when you arrive at the balcony, some cutscene is about to start. Tried 7 times or so. the cutscene never happens.
Several people have reported this one, but they have gotten around it. In their case it was a necromancy spell that kept an enemy alive and immortal (lovely design, Bioware) due to a panic effect. This is not the case for me though. I have no necromancers in my group during that quest. I am using Varric, Vivienne and Cassandra.
My biggest gripe about this isn't that I haven't been able to continue playing since December. But that Bioware actually deletes peoples posts on Facebook, when they are addressing bugs and asking for solutions.
That 'Wicked Hearts' one was a game breaking bug for me, the backup save I had before that point was in Fallow Mire some...15 hours earlier, so I ended up rerolling another character. That wasn't nearly as bad as the *second* bug which was Varric/Hawke cutscene that initiated Crestwood's which lead to a ctd every time I spoke to him.

If I have to restart I have lost more than 50 hours. In addition to the 20 i lost last time I had to restart.

Because it was a design decision. How were they supposed to know players didnt want a casual outfit like in DA2

Yeah. And how could they know that the players wouldn't want the healing spells removed, and get limited to 8 abilities during combat.
The design for this game is what ruined a fantastic game. Or rather. Made a fantastic game mediocre.

I thought the last patch addressed the Dorian bug 0o (I know you said your issue isn't caused by Dorian, since he isn't in the party, I'm only referring to how you listed the Dorian bug as something people have complained about and Bioware just deleted those comments.)
As for your bug - that seems really odd. Especially since I vaguely remember the cutscene doesn't actually require you to clear out all the enemies in the area. Want to say the last time I played through that scene the cutscene started as soon as I killed the Harlequin. Don't know how helpful this advice will be, but I know with a bug I encountered later on in the game where I "defeated" an enemy but the script that was supposed to run after I defeated them didn't fire; I was able to solve the issue by running back to where the last cutscene played. Judging by what you said about running everywhere on the map, however, I imagine you tried this?
As for the issue regarding court approval - you have a chance to get a LOT of points right after this scene to make up for any you might have missed while searching the grounds. I remember I was convinced I'd fail the mission because my score was so low my first time through. After something you can do after this scene, I wound up with 100 court approval though.
Tried everything. Posted this issue on their Facebook page too. Got deleted every time. I just described the bug and asked when it might get fixed, or if anyone had a workaround for it. EA-Ware didn't like that.
I just installed Patch 3 on PC. Now I know I could just be unlucky, but I tend to keep my rig in good order and am always on the low end of any PC gaming problems.
That said, patch 3 just added the following "features" for me:
- all equipped shields had their armor value set to 0 (not sure if just a cosmetic display bug or a genuine change of the stat)
- the walk "toggle" turns walking on, but not off again. Need to go back to menu and reload a save game to get my inquisitor back to running speed.
I sense a fun evening ahead.

casual outfit in da2 at least wasn't as fugly as this one.

thats why as soon as i heard new patch i put my origin in offline mode and disabled auto-patch.
even patching now is beta-testing the game..

The exact same thing with the shields happened to me as well. Not only that, but when I tried to craft a new one for my main character, equipped it on him, saved my game and then loaded the save, the shield had completely disappeared. Happens every time, so now I have no shield for my sword & shield main character.
Rawgrim - Have you been able to contact a Dev by a private IM or e-mail?.
It will be interesting to see if Rawgrim's problem is console only. I wonder why Bioware is now publishing patch notes for PC (but not consoles). Does Sony and Microsoft have a "gag order" up until the new console patch is officially released?
Consoles never tell you what the patches do, they only tell you you can't access network functions (like multi-player) unless you install it.

True. Walking around in the undershirt compared to a robe.
